the wrappers, and make paste, and talk
to visitors, and distribute the type, and

correct mistakes in the last issue, and
hunt for shears to write editorials, and
dodge the bills and dun delinauents,

IVES.

At last Mr.. Henry S. Ives, the bril-
liant young fnancier, who went up
like q 70 3ket and recently came down
like a stick, is defendant in a criminal
suit now being heard in the New York
poles court. The specific charge
against him is he embezzlement OF
100000, or e draft calling for that
sum. In all probability this will
develop into something more serious
than the defendant would now assume
1t to be. Young Ives, during the brief
period when he was ''up in the world, I"
handled millions more recklesslv than
people with the bump of caution ordi-
narily developed, do thousands. When
the collapse came, it was discovered
that all these millions with which he
had been cutting q swell, buying rail-
roads, and yachts, and 80 on, were not
mis-, and never had been his; that he
was In fact a good deal worse than q
psuper, speaking financially; that his
career was largely akin to one of fraud,
and that dishonesty was in many of
his trsnssetions. The institution of
this prosecution would look as if his
dupes. did not propose to submit
without protest to his peculiar
and irregular method ofswsmping their
money. The young Nspoleons of fn-
ance" have not Jared very well in the
courts of New York during late years.
Some OF them are serving the State in
striped suits, and If half that has been
published regarding Ives be true, there
will not be universal sorrow if he shall
be sent to keep company with Ferdi-
nand Ward, Fish, and others who have
speculsted with and lost other people,:

SCHOOL TAXES.

In his remarks at the Eleventh Ware
scnool meeting the other evening Mayo
Armstrong complained of the Law
which made the school tax burden fal
unevenIy on the people. The Mayor
was right in his complaint. TIL
HERALD has several times called atten
ton to The injustice of the law. Only G
small number of the counties pay
school taxes equal in amount to the
sum which they draw from the school
fund. Salt Lake City and County pay
for the education Of the children
OF several counties, though the
latter are as well able to pay
for teaching their young as Salt
Lake is for educating hers. The
injustice and inequality result from the
fact that the outside counties persist in
not taxing themselves as fairly as they
might do, and in the absence of a Ter
ritoriaI board of equalization, the mat
ter cannot be adjusted. The assessor
of county may place any value he
pIeases on property, for tax purposes,
and defy other counties to make him
change his estimate, though it is appaI-
ent that he is compelling the Territory
10 bear the public expenses which
should be borne BY his county.
One of two things should be
done by the Legislature - the
school law should be amended
so as to retain in the county the
school money collected there, or
3 Territorial board of Equalization
should be provided for. If each county
could have its own money Salt Lake
and some others could have free schools
without increasing the taxation. The
money raised. in this county for school
purposes would be sufficient to main
tain a free school in every district in the
county for large part of the year. if
not during all the time that schools are
taught. f other counties would be as
fair in their taxation, they also with
perhaps three or four exceptions, might
have free schools for at least portion
OF the year.
1t will be an injustice to Salt Lake,
Weber, and two or three other counties
to longer continue the present order OF
things, and the Legislature should at
once change it for one more in har-
mony with principles of justice and
equity.

There should be in this announcement
the strongest encouragement TO go
ahead with the Salt Lake & Los Angeles
railway as fast as possible. II is estimated
that the coal consumption OF California
next year will amount to 1 10000 tons.
The consumption this year has been
over $50 600 tons, and the population is
increasing so rapidly end manufactur-
ing industries extending so fast, that the
estimate Of the increased consump ion
IS thought to be fully justified. Los
Angeles and the region thereabouts
which will be tribula to the new road,
now require 1000 tons of coal day
and the demand will necessarily in
crease as the population increases and
manufacturing is more extern
siVely engaged in. The coal sup
ply of the Los Angeles section
OF the State will naturally come from
Utah, being carried over the proposed
road. Indeed, the Utah coal can be
taken into the San Francisco market
and sold at much lower prices than
those quGked above. 1t may be re-
marked that coal is higher in Los
Angeles than in San Francisco, having
to be shipped from the last mentioned
city either by water or rail at additional
cost. Utah coal can be laid down in
Los Angeles at $6.50per ton. At this
price the mine owners and the railway
company would be handsomely paid.
This figure would simply destroy COM
petition by importation, giving the Salt
Lake & Los Angeles the entire trade
and making it master of the situation.
There may not be enough in the coal
transportation business to support the
railroad, but that traffic alone would
come very close to paying all the ex-
penses of the road. What the opening
up OF this new market would do for
Utah, may be imagined when it is said
that it would multiply the sales of
leading Utah product by ten.

COAL FOR CALIFORNIA.

Last Friday evening the importers and
wholesale dealers IL coal in San Fran
cisco, held a meeting and advanced the
price OF coal 81 per ton as follows: Aust
ralian from 1878 to $40 Upper ton; Liver
pool steam, from IS 80 TO 5000; West
Hartley. from SO to Sill; Cardiff, from
So to$11; Lehigh lump, from $13:to 80;
Cumberland, from 5000 to $3.50 Egg,
hard, from SIG to SIS. All domestic Goals
were also advanced 50 per ton. 1t is
explained that this action was taken,
not because there issa scarcity of coal,
Saor that famine is likely to occur
but because those engaged in the bust
ness had it in their power to make the
advance.

THE POPE AND THE IRISH.

If it shall prove to be true as stated
IN cablegram this morning, that the
British government has enlisted the
Pope's representative, and conse-
qHently the Pope on its side in the
contest with the irish, it will show
cunning craftsmanship on the part of
the authorities, and the world will be
treated to a new exhibition of the
power of the Catholic clergy over the
members of the church. The people of
Ireland, in their struggle for home
rule, have felt. because they
were right, that the church
was with them in sympathy; and to all
appearances this supposition was cor
rect. The priests have not only up
held the people in the contest, nut in
many instances have been foremost in
opposing the crown officers in their
efforts to enforce the law. Several
members of the clergy have been prose
cuted and sent to prison for their part
IL proclaimed meetings or for lndulgiDg
in actual violence. OF course, if the
Pope, in order to secure the official
recognition as a temporal sovereign
which he desires, has espoused the
cause of the British government, he
will issue mandate to the clergy
to right about face themselves. and do
what they can to reconcile the people
to q compliance with British law and
rule. There win be general submits
sion on the part OF the priests, for theirs
are.few DR.. McGIynns in the Catholic
Church. But it is doubted that the
clergy will be able to wheel the people
into line. Devoted as the latter are to
Mother Church, and fearful ss they are
of calling forth its anathemas, it is be-
Iieved they are still more devoted 10 the
cause of home rule, which to them
means ability to live in ireland.
The world will be an interested spec
tator, in the event that the Pope shall
take hand i'll the contest, and shall
throw his influence on the side of the
government.
